[Verse 1] He said, "I feel like an imposter
"Took me 'til sixty-two to realize
"I'm good at what I do"
There are things that I've been hidin' from
Things that I've been lookin' for

[Verse 2] 1984 listenin' to Born To Run
Honey, that's what I did
I'm not the only one
The memory of her skin
And she's holdin' you again

[Chorus] I could try to make it better
I could pray it won't get worse
I could wish you would forget her
I could hope you'd break this curse
After what we both went through
I count on you, I count on you

[Verse 3] You caught me quite off guard
It was one hundred degrees
I was cleanin' up the bar
You were watching me
Thirty-somethin' years
I have been waiting right here

[Verse 4] I wonder if we'd like each other
You know how I get so mad
Is that the same red temper that she had?
There's shame and there's hard luck
She gave me some tough girl stuff

[Chorus] I could try to make it better
I could pray it won't get worse
I could wish you would forget her
I could hope you'd break this curse
After what we both went through
I count on you, I count on you

[Bridge] I know you spent all those years out on your tour bus
Never took a lot of time to stop and think about what would've happened to us
When my auntie took me home, loved me like I was her own
And you came back, of course you did

[Verse 5] I say, "You are no imposter
"You're the real thing
"It's a guiding light when I hear you sing"
She's never comin' back
I think we both know that

[Outro] I count on you
I count on you
I count on you
